Seed is looking for subs

Hi, everyone,

Your student union magazine, Seed, is looking for submissions. Deadline is 20 June, and the theme is "wasted" -- they say this doesn't just mean getting wasted on a Friday, but includes "wasted time, wasted life, wasted money, wasted resources, wasted opportunities, wasted politics, wasted love...". 

I'm sure you all will have something that could slide into that. (As a sidenote, I once subbed four antinuclear poems to a themed mag with the theme of "journeys". I wrote in my cover letter that it was my journey into understanding nuclear issues, which I thought was a bit of a stretch, but the editors took the poems.)

Submit your essays, reviews, fiction/non-fiction pieces, poetry, artwork, etc to: seedmag@hotmail.com

Here's the guidelines, straight from the editors: Maria Matina, Brewster Hipik and Matty Buschmann. They're all past PWE students, so they'd love to hear from you. (There, you want an idea for a success story -- why don't you go interview one of them?)

A Few Sections to Poke your Pen at (hopefully regular)

· Letters and Opinions: respond to previously published work, comment on a current issue, or just have a good whinge about something (not a waxing rant though—about 200 words).

· Around Uni: Write about VU—events, services, faculties, internship programs, history, anything.

· Student Successes: know anyone whose taken off from the VU launch pad? Interview them—let us all know what they’re up to and how they got there.

· Reviews: give us your take on a record, book, live performance, festival, venue, sporting event, etc. You can either snatch the material we tee up (email your interest—first in best dressed) or bring your own gear to the party.
